Planting an Orchard
We have here another view of present-day colonization of Palestine. A happy band of colonists are at work on virgin land near Kirjath Jearim, one of the Jewish colonies in Palestine. What a glorious day it will be for that once favored land―when millennial glory will shine upon it for a thousand years and He shall reign Who is despised and rejected now. Then it will be―
“Kings shall fall down before Him,
And gold and incense bring;
All nations shall adore Him,
His praise all peoples sing;
Outstretched His wide dominion
O’er river, sea and shore,
Far as the eagle’s pinion,
Or dove’s light wings can soar.”
